rhythmweb's Issues

New copyright for files?

I'm excited about new dev work on this plugin, as I'm getting tons of use from it already and it's great. I was wondering how you'd feel about including more explicit copyright attributions in the source files and about box? I know that it seems like a petty thing, but just wanted to get your thoughts.

REST API Support or Merge?

Hey,

I try this version of the plugin today on my ubuntu 12.04 and it works good, Great Job!
I used to use the rhythmweb-plugin since 2 year from the repository https://bitbucket.org/jimcerberus/rhythmweb/wiki/Home.
The plug-in has stop working since GTK3 and I'm realy proud that someone has solved this problem. If you take a look in the Project you will see that the guys have many features like Browsing or a REST API. The REST API is my favorite feature because I have builded an App upon the API.

Could you please also add a REST API in your plugin or maybe merge your repository with the Bitbucker-Guys?
You have the GTK3-Feature and they have others features.

Best regards,

Samuel

Play button doesnt play but does pause

The web-page play button does not initiate the play function in rhythmbox.

However it does stop the song correctly.

issue raised to investigate

Endpoint "/playlist/current" Fails, throws 500 if Track Playing has Album Art

If a playing track has Album Art, requesting /playlist/current will result in a 500 Server Error.

Re-creating:

1. Attach Album art to a Song and begin playing it
2. Request the /playlist/current Endpoint. curl localhost:8000/playlist/current
3. You should be served a 500 Server Error with the body:
   A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.

Doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04?

Hello,

I would like to try your program but it seems it doesn't work:

• When I try to activate the plugin in Rhythmbox, I get a 'no entry' kind of symbol and the plugin fades-out.

• When i run 'python rhythmweb.py', I get following message:

  File "rhythmweb.py", line 38, in
  from rhythmweb_prefs import Preferences
  File "/home/filixandra/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/rhythmweb/rhythmweb_prefs.py", line 24, in
  import rb
  ImportError: No module named rb

Am I doing something wrong?
Anyway good luck and thanks for sharing your program for free.

select and stream audio

This is perhaps beyond my capabilities - might be worth investigating whether now we have a basic web-interface - when the user hits play, it could perhaps send back an audio stream - thus having rhythmbox play audo across the LAN/WAN.

http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAudioStreaming.html

maybe icecast can help here with its command line utilities to play audio via xmms stream.

Add "skins" to the interface to provide alternative interface more suitable for mobile devices

The current HTML interface is not really flattering and probably could be made much smarter to work with mobile devices.

I imagine a combination of HTML changes with an addition of CSS will solve this - I dont envisage any coding change would be required.

Just need someone who likes tinkering with HTML + CSS to solve this.

does new row selection method work across different platforms?

raised to check compatability with other platforms.

Known not to work on Safari (IPod)
Doesnt work on HP Touchpad tablet - probably not surprising since the browser is naff.

Does work with Firefox & Ubuntu 11.10/12.04

Plugin fails to run in rhythmbox 3.0

On Arch Linux the plugin fails to run:

• import rb, this module doesn't exist, are you sure you need it? Could it be replaced by a RB equivalent?
• the plugin isn't compatible Python 3, so may be you need to add Python 3 support or set python2.7 explicitely at launch time.

How I can help you to diagnose the problem?

create preferences dialog to change port

plugins - preferences needs to be activated to allow a user to change the web-server port number.

"A server error occurred." when clicking prev.

When playlist is empty, clicking prev button causes "A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator." error

Images do not show up

I've found that images don't show up for me as their content type is returned incorrectly. The images coming from GTK on my machine are svg, but the content type coded into the plugin is image/png.

Here's a question - mostly because I don't do much coding with GTK - were these images previously pngs but are now svgs? Or is there a way to ask GTK for the png equivalents rather than svg so that we can be more deterministic about what data comes back when we ask for images?

play queue doesnt respond to double click

Whilst the playlists respond correctly to a double click,

double clicking the playqueue doesnt reset the source to the playqueue and therefore doesnt play from the queue if defined.

add pause button

At the moment the playbutton does both play & pause. But there is no visual feedback that you can pause - its just a play button.

We should return in the HTML to display the pause button when playing and visa-versa.

Possibly due to the way we "post" stuff - javascript could be used to toggle the button image between play and pause.
